How to carry travel documents

Now that you’ve gotten your passport in order for our European holiday, we need to address carrying and securing it. If you take nothing else away from this entry, please understand this: you should NEVER be parted from your passport–that is, it should be on you at all times (showers and sleeping being the only exceptions). Tom was pick-pocketed in Munich once and that set his vigilance at a very high level. Since we are your tour hosts, we require you to carry your passport with you always–on your person. This will not be the last time you hear us say this….

If that opening sounded particularly strong, IT IS! But allow me to share a few ways I have found to carry my passport with ease and without it feeling, or looking, so bulky.

Press “play” to watch my video about several types of holders you might choose to use when securing your documents on your person while traveling in Europe.

I hope you found the video informative. Some of you are seasoned travelers and have your own way of making sure your passport, credit card(s), and cash are safely secured, but others are brand new to traveling overseas. For those who are voyaging to Europe for the first time, please remember: Tom and I insist that you keep your passport on you all the time. Once you find the best document holder for you, try it out for a day or a week. Make sure you will be happy with your choice, and you are able to wear it with ease and comfort.

With the July 4th holiday already upon us, I have noticed a plethora of sales: on clothing and luggage, in particular. In my next post, I will address baggage so that you might be on the look-out for the perfect luggage to fit your needs. Upcoming posts will also address travel clothing. We are just under a year away from departure now: 363 days to be exact. We are super excited and hope you are too!

Talk to you soon,

Suzanne
